Emotion in Action – Children’s Sculpture Workshop with Helen Duncan (ages 6-10)

Tara Carroll, Resonance Ripples, 2024-Ongoing, Installation: Velvet, electric blanket, foam, duvet filling, wood, carpet, marble, electric heat pad, poly-linen, embroidery thread, vinyl

Join us at Abbey Road Artists’ Studios for a creative, hands-on sculpture workshop inspired by the exhibition Affective Forms, facilitated by Abbey Road Artist in Residence Helen Duncan.
Children will explore how feelings and movement can be expressed through sculpture, using materials such as wire and clay. They’ll discover how bending, shaping, and posing their sculptures can help tell stories and show different emotions. This workshop encourages experimentation, curiosity, and creative thinking in a supportive environment.’
Booking essential. Limited places available. Suitable for ages 6- 10.

Affective Forms will continue to 12 April 2026 and will be accompanied by an outreach  programme of activities.
